The baseball season is only in its second week, and pitcher Lucas Giolito of Harvard-Westlake (3-0) has already hit a milestone. He was clocked throwing a couple of 100 mph fastballs and finished with a one-hitter on Tuesday in the Wolverines' 11-0 victory over Woodland Hills El Camino Real in a quarterfinal game of the Easton tournament.

He held El Camino Real hitless for 6 1/3 innings, finishing with eight strikeouts and zero walks while throwing 81 pitches. Mason Novak got the only hit for El Camino Real. Giolito's next outing will be Tuesday in a Mission League opener against Alemany at home. Max Fried went three for three and Joe Corrigan and Alex Horowitz had two hits apiece.

Redlands East Valley improved to 3-0 with a 2-0 win over Beaumont. Kevin Stevens threw five innings of no-hit ball, giving him nine innings of no-hit ball and 17 strikeouts in two games. He combined for his second no-hitter in three games. REV will host Riverside North (3-0) on Thursday.
